Deans' stroke musings

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain!Just think of all thetrillions and trillions of neuronsthatDIEeach daybecause there areNOeffective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 493 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.My back ground story is here:http://oc1dean.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-background-story_8.html

Eating cheese does not increase risk of heart attack or strokes, say researchers

This on Grana Padano cheese in May 2016 already showed benefits, but I bet your diet protocol never got changed because your doctor doesn't keep up with research.

The
belief that consuming too much cheese is harmful to your health is
wrong, according to experts, after finding no link between eating dairy
products and the elevated risk of a heart attack or stroke.

The
findings challenge the view among many health-conscious eaters that
foodstuffs such as full-fat cheese, milk and yogurts could be harmful
because of their high saturated fat content.

"There's
been a lot of publicity over the last five to 10 years about how
saturated fats increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and a belief
has grown up that they must increase the risk, but they don't," Ian
Givens, professor of food chain nutrition at Reading University, told
The Guardian newspaper on Tuesday.

An
international team of researchers, including Givens, analyzed results
from 29 different medical studies carried out over the last 35 years,
using information based on almost 1 million participants. The team's
findings were published in the European Journal of Epidemiology.

"There's
quite a widespread but mistaken belief among the public that dairy
products in general can be bad for you, but that's a misconception.
While it is a widely held belief, our research shows that that's wrong,"
Givens added.

'Unhelpful and misleading'

Experts
are divided as to whether reducing the amount of saturated fats in
one's diet could improve overall health and decrease the risk of heart
disease.

Mike
Knapton, doctor and associate medical director at the British Heart
Foundation (BHF), described such claims made about saturated fats as
"unhelpful and misleading."

"Decades
of research have proved that a diet rich in saturated fat increases
'bad' (LDL) cholesterol in your blood, which puts you at greater risk of
a heart attack or stroke," Knapton said in a statement published on the
BHF website.

Meanwhile,
the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) also advises consumers to reduce
the amount of saturated fats they eat because high levels of these same
fats can increase cholesterol in the blood and subsequently raise the
risk of cardiovascular disease.

Ask Dean
Any local survivors close to East Lansing, drop me a note and we can have coffee sometime.
Questions or comments or would you like me to discuss something? I will try to answer, No medical diagnosis given or received. I am damned opinionated so don't expect fluff.

Canoeing Moose

Just because my goal is to get back to canoeing and this moose is so ripped and cool looking. And he's even a solo paddler. But his right hand on the T-grip is wrong and the right arm should be extended.
